Downfall

Posted by mrty - March 2nd, 2010


I failed the maths test today. With a score of %25. I really don't get it, I've been taking private lessons for months, and we pretty much covered everything I needed to know. I seriously don't know what to do in order to get a high score in maths.

The exam started out as normal and I was going well. Until I realized that somehow, I forgot most of the rules and methods that I studied. There were people who studied even more than me, and they were all complaining (and crying) because their effort gives them nothing in return. The same thing applies to me.

My dad pays 100 TLs (translation: 65$) for my private lessons every week. At times when I get low grades like this, I feel like one of those stupid vending machines that get money stuck in them, and don't give anything back.

I'm not stating this to cover up my own failure, but the entire class failed hard. One of my friends even said that I was LUCKY to get %25, and said that he would do a belly dance if he got such a "high" mark. Poor guy, I think he got something close to %10.

The teacher told me that she explained countless times that I "wasn't supposed to draw a table in such inequality questions". Well, you know what? I don't remember such thing. Because I wasn't listening to you when you said it. Yes, maths class is so boring that I just copy everything on the board without a question, like an automated machine.

When I came home sulking, my mom immediately knew that something was amiss. I talked to her about it, and to be honest, I didn't except her (and my dad) to be so understanding. She said it was totally OK, and it can always happen to students. My dad was OK with it, too. I'm really grateful to be in such family. The sad part is that there are some parents who aren't that tolerative. I feel sorry for my friends who have abusive parents...

Thanks, I'm better now. No matter what the trouble is, it's always good to have people supporting you.

WOW, that's that's... SAD :( *sad puppy eyes* i feel sorry for you taking so much free time and just get a pissy 25%...
wait?! what, some parents don't tolerate that their kids isn't good at math? :O :(

But Im sure you will get at least 50 % on the next test :D

Well, I don't know anyone with abusive parents, but I'm pretty sure there are some around.
